This probably isn't your problem, but I always wondered why you could not
change directories in Windows or dos on another drive by typing in CD
D:\myfiles
Did you type the drive letter + colon ( d: )to switch to the cdrom drive
before doing CD \dirName?
or if this CD was made with a burner, did they close it out after copying?
If none of the above, I had a problem once like this and it turned out to
be a bad processor. Basically Windows 98 setup would not run; or, would
start but crash. Another possibility if you are running plain ol' dos --
check tsr's: mouse drivers, etc... I assume you checked for a loose ide
ribbon cable on the motherboard end?
